3 new mailboxes just showed up in Mail

Two odd things happened this past week - maybe at the same time, although I can't be sure.
1) In Apple Mail, three new mailboxes for my .mac account suddenly appeared under "On My Mac": Deleted, Junk and Sent. They never used to be under "On My Mac", so I'm wondering if this is somehow related to the next item:
2) My .mac account disappeared from my iPhone. My POP3 account remains.
I still get mail to the .mac account on my laptop, and it still shows up online when I go to the .mac website.
Any ideas what's going on here?

Roger,
As to point 1), that would be consistent with a change in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Mailbox Behaviors to not store Deleted Messages, Junk, nor Sent Messages on the server, so thus they are On My Mac as soon as some action causes them to be created. Check the preferences settings.

I cannot find imported mail boxes. if i try to setup a new mailbox, it shows the existence of the mailboxes that i am looking for in the location drop down menu. where would they be located?

i cannot find imported mailboxes. if i try to setup a new mailbox, it shows the existence of the mailboxes under location/on my mac. they do not show up in the mailbox list. where would they be located so that i can retrieve them?

Did you quite Mail and relaunch?
Your imported mail is stored in a new mailbox called “Import.” To reorganize imported messages, create new mailboxes and drag folders and messages from the Import mailbox to other mailboxes. When you’re done, you can delete the Import mailbox.
If you don’t see your mailboxes in Mail, choose View > Show Mailbox List; empty mailboxes aren’t imported.

Gmail mailboxes not showing up in Mail

In Mail, I see all of the mailboxes for "on my mac" but there is nothing for Gmail. At the top there's a place showing my Gmail inbox, but nothing showing any folders. Not even "Gmail" with an arrow to click. It's just "on my mac" and "RSS". I've looked at numerous discussions and made sure all of the settings are correct both in Mail and in my Gmail account. I even deleted the account and re-added it. I also have other e-mails linked to Mail, and none of them have any mailboxes that show up. When I try and add a new mailbox, having it under Gmail or any other e-mail account other than "on my mac" isn't even an option. My end goal is to add the mailboxes from "on my mac" into Gmail. Help!!

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...

Created new mailbox, not showing up

I recently created a new top level mailbox, named "Sent Messages"; it did not appear immediately after creation, and hasn't shown up after restarting Mail.
I thought maybe I didn't hit the "OK" button during the Naming prompt, so I tried to add a new mailbox of the same name; I receive an error stating 'The mailbox ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Sent Messages.mbox already exists'.
I've navigated to this location in Finder, and see that indeed there exists a folder by this name, containing a single .plist file. I've compared the contents of this .plist to the .plist of another top level mailbox that appears properly, and there are no negligible differences.
I've tried to Rebuild Mailbox on all of my user-created mailboxes, and looked into hierarchial mailboxes to see if it got created in a nested fashion; all to no avail.
I've tried deleting the .mbox in the ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes directory, but it just gets recreated the next time I launch Mail.
I've tried creating a new uniquely named mailbox, and it gets correctly created and appears at the top level in Mail, as well as under ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes.
I've switched view options from large to small mailbox icons, hoping this refresh might catch the missing mailbox
I suppose my next course of action would be to export my mail, flush my preferences, and recreate my account and reimport all my messages, but I'd really like to avoid having to do that.
I have no idea what else to try to do to fix this problem. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

It isn't clear to me what your problem really is, so I'm not sure what it is that you want to fix, but I can help you better understand what happened.
"Sent Messages" is the name Mail uses for the standard mailboxes where sent messages of each account are stored. Such mailboxes don't appear by their name in Mail, but rather as children of the Sent group using the account name instead (if you have more than one account).
A Sent Messages.mbox folder in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ would also be treated as a standard Sent mailbox and, hence, displayed within the standard Sent group (as On My Mac), instead of treated like any other custom mailbox.

Certain mailboxes not showing the stored mails

After upgrading to OSX mavericks, mails in certain folders are not visible -- ony headers can be seen without the mail contents.
How to get it back ?

I had the same problem, and here is how I solved it.
Note that this is a bad trick, and I don't guarantee it will work for you, but it did for me.
Quit mail
Go to the ~Library/Mail folder (you can find the ~Library folder by holding the option key and choose to Go To menu in the menu bar).
There, you should see a V2 folder, with a Mailboxes folder inside.
In that Mailboxes folder, I had some of my corrupted mailboxes (the ones with the empty mails) and the same mailbox folder with a "-2" suffix. I deleted the mailbox and renamed the "-2" to remove the suffix.
Launch Mail again, that worked for me.

New 30Gb Just shows white screen

I purchased a 30GB on Ebay (yes, I know, bad move) and when I got it and plugged it in, it only shows a white screen, and won't do anything else. Tried to reset, no go. Is there anything else I can do before I return this to the guy I bought it from?

Any help here?

Someone on your local subnet has turned on their music sharing. You just need to open iTunes' preferences and turn off "Look for shared music" in the "Sharing" pane.

TS3276 I created a new mailbox in mail, but it does not show up in my list

I created a new mailbox in mail, but it does not show up in my list of mailboxes. Now I cannot change it or delete it. I keep getting an error message that I must resolve conflicts, but it won't let me change anything. Can you help me fix this?

Found it, thanks to the answer Vixen-of-Venus gave - thanks.

How do you add new mailboxes in mail? Tried what manual showed, didn't see edit option in mailboxes

How do you set up new mailboxes in mail? Followed manual's directions, didn't see edit option in mailboxes.

What type of email account is it ? As far as I know it only works with IMAP accounts (it doesn't work with my POP account), and you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of folders that are currently on that account.

My mailboxes are not showing up in the viewing area. When I create a new mailbox they are listed. How do I restore them in the mail view?

My mailboxes are not visible. When I go to add a new mailbox they are visible when asked where to put the new mailbox. If I lost them how do I get them back if possible. I have played around with everything that I can think of but with no luck.

I have sorted it myself!!
Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

New User Mailbox not showing up in GAL - Created wrong?

I have a strange issue that is causing me angst and making me argue with my network manager. Here's the lowdown. Please shed some light on it if you can.
Every place I have worked prior to my current company I would do the following steps to create a new user (new employee). In AD I would
copy an existing user with the same/similar permissions, distro list membership, etc... Then go into
EMC and create a new mailbox for an existing user
and link it to the new AD object I had just created. This always worked for me. Here it doesn't. When I do it that way, the new user mailbox does not get added to the GAL. If you go to
All Users they show up. I have read several articles about using cached mode and if I turn it off the user will show up. Unfortunately most of our employees are in the field for long periods of time so we need to run in cached mode.
The way the network manager wants them created (and this way works) is to create a new user mailbox for a
new user in EMC which also creates the AD object. Then I have to go back to AD and manually add the user to permissions groups, distro lists, add profile settings, etc... Very tedious and manual process.
Can someone help me understand why doing it my way, which I have done for years on other networks, is not working here? Since we are using cached mode do I have to create the user object and mailbox the way he does it?

I believe the way you are doing it and the way he is doing it is doing exactly the same thing as far as when it shows up in the GAL. The problem sounds like exactly what you said in that you are using cached mode which uses an Offline Address Book
(OAB). If you look in EMC under Organization Configuration/Mailbox/Offline Address Book, you will see the update schedule. What happens is when you create the account it shows up in the address book right away however it only shows up in the OAB
when that updater runs. Even after that is done, the outlook client needs to go out and download the OAB file, which happens 24 hours from the time it last downloaded the OAB. I'm not sure if there is a fix for your problem as it appears to be
by design. Perhaps your old company may have been running in online mode? You may want to look at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841273/en-us for more details.
Q1: What is cached mode?
A1: Cached mode is the new default configuration for Outlook. It provides an experience that is similar to the offline configuration in earlier versions of Outlook. When you are running in cached mode, your Exchange mailbox is synchronized to a local
file (an .ost file), and the offline address list from your Exchange computer is synchronized to a collection of files (.oab files) on your client computer. Outlook directly accesses the .ost file and the .oab files on your hard disk instead of communicating
directly with your server or servers. Therefore, network communication between Outlook and Exchange is significantly reduced.
Q2: Why does cached mode generate an offline address book?
A2: The offline address book contains a set of all the properties of a user (such as e-mail addresses and names) that Outlook requires. With an offline address book, Outlook does not have to connect to the global catalog to resolve names, nor
does it have to open a person’s details record. Instead, Outlook easily obtains this information from the local offline address book.
Q5: How frequently is the offline address book updated on the Outlook client?
A5: If left constantly running, Outlook in cached mode automatically updates the offline address book on the client every 24 hours. The 24-hour time period is measured from the time that the offline address book was last downloaded successfully. For
example, if you complete an offline address book download at 09:00 today, Outlook will start the offline address book download the next day at approximately 09:00. Therefore, different people will receive updates at different, random times.
Note The default setting on the Exchange computer is to generate an offline address book differential file every morning at 04:00. For a change that is made in Active Directory to reach the client computer, the following events must occur:
The change must be picked up by the Exchange computer that generates the offline address book files. This can take several hours. At worst, it can take 24 hours. This variable will be referred to as "x."
The Outlook clients must download the offline address book updates every 24 hours. This update can take several hours. At worst, it can take 24 hours. This variable will be referred to as "y."
The update reaches the client machines x+y hours later. It would be rare for a client to ever experience a 48-hour delay or more unless there were some Active Directory or public folder replication issues.

Hi I can't seem to create folders to save emails in. I have added a new mailbox, but it doesn't show up on the left of the screen. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks

HI. I can't seem to create folders to save emails in. I have added (several!) new mail boxes, but they do not appear in the menu on the left of the screen. How can I access/view them? Many thanks

Well, just to confirm the process, open Mail and click on the word "Mailbox" up at the top pf the screen in the menu bar. Then click on "New Mailbox" in the list. In the window that opens, enter the name you want for this new mailbox. The new Mailbox will be located over in the left hand column under the heading there, "On My Mac". If you cannot see the mailbox there, then it is "hidden" under "On My Mac". You will need to hover your mouse cursor over the phrase "On My Mac" and just to the right the word "Show" will faintly appear. Click on "Show" and your Mailboxes under "On My Mac" will appear.

I can't create a new mailbox, doesn't show up

When I create a new mailbox, it does not show up in the left column of mail boxes. I read in another email on the same topic that the newly created mailboxes (I created or tried to create five or six of them that all never showed up), that they are "hidden" and that I should hover over "on my mac" and a menu will ask me to unhide mail boxes. But I do not see the phrase "on my mac" anywhere on my mailbox list. How do I create a mailbox, or where are the ones that I did create and are not visible? Thanks.

I did not find any evidence of the mailboxes on the google site. Also, I'm new to google mail, but though I couldn't find a way to create an actual mail box in mail, there were "labels" and under the menu of all the different categories they were all checked to "show on imap." This google account is set up on my mac mail, as I guess you might be able to see that and I do receive my employers mail from google right to my mac. This iMac is actually my second older one that sits in my kitchen for entertainment and downstairs access, so I don't care a whole lot that I can't resolve this, though I still would like to figure it out if possible, where the created mailboxes are going that is......I just went up to my main mac (new 27"). "On My Mac" shows and when you hover over it you can "hide" it. This doesn't seem to happen on my downstairs mac with the problem. I can't make "on my mac" appear when I move my cursor over the mail box menu. Because this is a secondary computer, I could very well at some wipe out the entire mail and start over, though I'm not sure how to do that being that mail application may not be easy to get back if I delete the entire app? since it's an onboard app that comes with the os????? Just thinking out loud about what I don't know!

Double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail

double clicking a new e-mail does NOT show whole e-mail unless I go to forward or reply. In other words, I may see a couple sentences, then it's just blank, no scroll bar either. This gets annoying. Anybody else get this or know how to overcome this?

Well, there is no such thing as an AOL type account in Mail. Such an account must be set up as either POP or IMAP. Nevertheless, knowing that the ISP for one of the accounts is AOL is useful because it seems that other people also have this problem with AOL -- see Chuck Coulson's and smackwell's posts in this thread.
I don't think I'll be able to help you with the AOL account other than telling you to try rebuilding the mailbox -- select the mailbox and choose Rebuild from the Mailbox menu. Have you tried that?
The problem shouldn't happen with the POP account, however. Do you experience the same problem with it as well?
